Finding someone without some sort of scar is like finding a fly without its wings. Scars are just a part of life. Some can be are easily covered with a bit of makeup while others require more drastic measures.

There are at least a dozen different types of skin care products that claim to help reduce stretch marks, surgery scars, or wounds scars. However, most of them seem very expensive and are not very effective.

You may have tried all the traditional products there are and still have scars, but don't let this discourage you. However, you can still find a great deal of comfort in a natural skin care cream that contains ingredients capable of "dissolving" scar tissue. It may seem a bit crazy to trust a natural product over a more traditional one, but bear with me.

Nature offers Miracle Products

There are two products that have been used consistently over the ages to cure skin problems and other ailments:

*Snail Serum or Helix Aspersa Muller extract

*and Rose hip (seed) oil

As a matter of fact, the use of snail serum, for example, can be traced as far back as Hippocrates. Both Hippocrates and his colleagues used snail serum to soften skin and as a Rosacea treatment.

Rose hip oil has, for years, been a part of skin care treatment. It was initially used by indigenous tribes in the South of Chile to treat scurvy and kidney dysfunction as well as a skin moisturizer and a treatment that can help minimize stretch marks.

Scar Treatment

Snail serum became important to scar treatments about two decades ago when heliculture workers noticed that the part of their skin that had come in contact with snail serum was healing at a miraculous rate. It was soon apparent that this ingredient should become a part of every scar treatment and skin care product.

Helix Aspersa Muller extract is a glycoconjugates compound that consists of peptides, enzymes, co-enzymes, and other molecules. It corrects cellular communication and reduces scar tissue formation in the skin. These glycoconjugates also help regulate cellular proliferation, reducing excessive inflammation.

When the serum is applied to the affected area, the glycoconjugates move towards the injury and begin breaking down the damaged cells with amino acids. The broken down cells are quickly replaced with healthy cells.

Rose hip seed oil is also a benefit for treatments that depend on stretch mark removal. Because of its rich composition - vitamins and essential fatty acids - this product is capable of accelerating the skin's cellular activity, therefore, improving the skin's renewal and cell regeneration.

Wound Healing

Both snail serum and rose hip oil can speed up the healing process. They both help accelerate the skin's natural renewal process thereby quickly replacing damaged skin cells with new ones. But, be warned, not all scars react alike. For example, rose hip oil and helix aspersa muller extract may not be as effective on keloid scar removal as they are on preventing their formation.
